First of all..do you have an important reason to do so? Otherwise
probably is not worth the hassle.

Mainly it should work by downloading the rpm files for XFree (base, the
one for the grafic card you have, libs) and install them (rpm -i).
Depending on the glibc version you have, it might happen that they require
a glibc update....

hope this helps
